Out Now: Heat Signature, Piercing & Flea Apparitions

[blowfish]

Heat Signature - Trench Trapped
Americanoise act Heat Signature return in 2025 with "Trench Trapped", a new full-length assault for Input Error. Never-ending labyrinths of mud-caked tunnels and ditches are traversed and dissected one-by-one, and the first glimpse of enemy combatants along the way is met with rampant, clip-emptying fire. War is both hell and the unknown.

Additional mercenary support sounds are included from Keith Brewer, Ahlzagailzehugh, and Diaphragmatic.

Piercing - Kites Of Nephthys
Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as No Rent and Detachment Programs.

Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere.

All of these aspects are present in "Kites of Nephthys" and some of the projects self-proclaimed "best tape loops" were set aside waiting to be used on this very album.

Hazy liquified field recordings and rhythmic electroacoustic junk loops, paired with slowburning mixer feedback and blown out crunch that builds up only to fade away...these are the kinds of sludgy gurgling sounds Piercing uses here in order to evoke imagery of Egyptian burial processions when women would gracefully slather their loved one's corpses in exotic oils before permanently laying them to rest.

Flea Apparitions - Ampullae Of Lorenzini
Pittsburgh isn't just all about the harsh noise scene but has a vast variety of sound artists & mood crafters.

Deep in the well known underground, Flea Apparitions has been a mainstay of local performances. Lorne Zeman creates atmospheric tracks that correspond with his visual artwork & graphics. Sometimes wearing his self made masks of defiance and serious intent while performing. Dive into the swirling madness of species Ctenocephalides.
